Unisex fitting

When choosing the correct size always take the size where your mobility is not limited. The ability to move is important when windsurfing.
Therefore take the larger size with more width instead of the smaller one which tends to be too tight. So always choose the size which is convenient and comfortable. In doubt please measure!

- For the correct fit a convenient and comfortable feeling is always in the foreground
- When in doubt, always choose a size larger, important are the start datas of the ION size chart table
- If you are in the rear third of the data with your body data according to size table, always choose the next larger size
- Please note the size chart and measure yourself as well

Do you still have any doubt about the size choice you or are you unsure, just contact us >Contact<. We'll be happy to help!

ION BALLISTIC SOLE against injuries at sole of foot

In 2006, ION developed a truly innovative feature: the ION Ballistic_Sole.
It provides an unmatched protection against most sharp mussels, coral reef and other sharp objects. The Ballistic_Sole is equipped with an extra layer of highly tearing resistant ARAMID protection fibres. These fibres are also used in bulletproof vests for example. Compared to conventional Neoprene boots the ioN Ballistic_Sole provides superior protection against many sharp objects in the water. although, like an airbag in a car accident, there cannot be a 100% guarantee not to get injured. But the Ballistic_Sole surely provides the best combination of protection and flexibility for your foot!

It's what every rider wants! With the development of the Ballistic Socks and Plasma Socks in 2010 this concept was successfully started and still continues to evolve. a new softer and thinner rubber material placed on the sole allows us to maintain the barefoot feeling and increase the durability of the Panda_Paw. Panda_Paw uses a new and softer rubber as a mid sole increases the abrasion resistance. Riding with the socks is definetely like riding barefoot!

Sanitized® ANTI-SMELL TECHNOLOGY

Sanitized ® is a certified antibacterial fabric with active biocidal substance: zinc pyrithion treatment to prevent bad odor from bacteria, mildew etc. in moist or sweaty environments ION uses this proven Swiss technology as a pioneer brand in the wetsuit market to fight a very unpleasant problem many people know in water-sports: a foul and sweaty smell caused by bacteria or mildew. Bacteria are increasing very fast. their number is doubles every 20 minutes, if there is no disinfection:anti smell. This function is permanently integrated in selected ION items such as premium wetsuits, boots and shoes. ION’s anti smell products use Sanitized ® freshness treatment, whose safety is proven by strict tests that meet highest requirements and is certified by oeKo-teX 100 – Class i-iV as well as bluedsign ®. The Sanitized ® hygiene function prevents bacterial growth in a unique approach. To maintain the full performance spectrum of ioN aNti SMell products for a long time, please use Ph-neutral detergents. No need to use “external” chemicals or odor-killers.

DOUBLE LINED MATERIAL

Instead of using skin Neoprene on the outside a jersey is laminated on the Neoprene sheets. It protects the Neoprene foam against ripping and makes it more robust than skin Neoprene. Normally it is also more elastic compared to skin Neoprene as it is not embossed on the surface. The downside though is a higher evaporative heat loss when the wet jersey surface is exposed to the Wind-Chill factor. But for some people the style factor by adding color and nice graphics to a wetsuit becomes more and more important and this is only possible with double lined Neoprene.
